HOW TO FIND TRANSFORMATION BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE

For many of us, life becomes mainly a race against the tyranny of our past. We seek transformation in the future as an escape, as salvation, and as proof that we are better than that person in our life mirror. We step onto the roller coaster of personal development and wait for the universe to open its secrets to success. Every now and then we may achieve some victories and we begin to feel that… NOW we’re hitting our stride!

Soon enough we get smacked in the face with the reality that the affirmations and other personal work were not enough. We sink back into the swamp of our limiting beliefs that hold the real Secret of our miserable destiny.

We seek models of transformation that exist outside ourselves and we hope that these can lead us to fame, power, and money. When we get exhausted and thwarted by these pursuits, we surrender to being entertained by those media figures that can help us forget.

Even if we were able to clean the slate of our lives, without an ability to fully experience the present, we will rapidly rebuild the prison of our past. We still have to navigate the world around us. Analyses can be made at the level of environment, behavior, capabilities, beliefs and values, and identity to aid us in making changes in our circumstances. Real transformation takes place at the point we have uncovered our purpose and resolved to fully embrace the present.

We have to stop seeking depth and meaning. We are already deep – deep beyond measure. Real transformation will come with the awareness that the only truth is the truth of the present – where God’s love is strongest. So transform right where you are. The Scylla and Charybdis of past and future will become merely stage directions on your way to the spotlight.
